Max TV launches test transmission in Kandy

Now Kandy can view the test transmissions of Sri Lanka's soon to be launched tv station Max Tv which is operated by MGM Networks (Pvt) Ltd.,

The test tranmissions can be viewed on UHF channel 56 after 5:00PM.

According to initial reports we hear that the reception in kandy is poor. Reception in areas such as Kandana & Ja Ela for Max Tv on UHF 30 is much better during the past few days without turning any antenna's according to reports being received by us. Can anyone confirm this? Has reception in other areas improved too?

Does anyone have any idea on the type of programming that will be available on Max Tv as well as the actual launch date?

Some FTA sat equipment importers & dealers also provide ZEE DishTV Package directly from india but with a whole year rental as a one time fee. This is also come with all channels including HBO, CNNI, STAR bouquet,etc, unlike SATNET. Price Range Rs 27000-31000.Sometimes few channels on DishTV can view using normal Free-to-air satellite receivers.This may change time to time. NGC, Disney etc, are shown free yesterday but not today.

Yeah ! Most of the FTA dealers are doing Dish TV connections. It's a fully illegal thing and their details cannot be posted or emailed as they will be in trouble. The price is ranging from 27000-33000 with one years full rental. this package has all the channels cbn had except bbc. there are other channels like ten sports, star full package, zee package and sony full package.

Soon huluballa will put a stop to this as this is killing his business. So investigate yourselves and get a connection soon

Be aware when you get DishTV Or Satnet the channels HBO,Star Movies and AXN is not the exact channel broadcast through CbnSat,LBN or COmet HBO is HBO south asia,Star Movies Indian Beam and AXN india. The content and broadcast times differ and i think in HBO and Star movies commercials are shown

You do not get HBO, AXN or Star Movies at all on SATnet.Its a piece of crap. never go for SATnet coz 1% of quality English programming and they charge you 300% of DishTV price.
